Fig. 3.
Pairwise comparison of myocardial LGE mass [g] in the translational (TC) and combined translational/non-rigid (NRC) datasets. Box plot (a): Indicated are the median values (middle line), 25 and 75 percentiles (central box), and single values (dots). The whiskers extend from the minimum to the maximum value, excluding outliers that are outside the lower/upper quartile minus/plus 1.5 times the interquartile range. Bland-Altman plot (b): ∆mass is shown on the ordinate. The mean of NRC and TC LGE masses is shown on the abscissa. Indicated are the limits of agreement (± 1.96* SD) and the mean difference. NRC delivers generally lower LGE masses. The outlier in both datasets was attributed to an exceptionally large infarction (NRC: 25.99 g, TC: 30.98 g) and might indicate a certain proportionality (see the regression line in b). The sample size is too small, however, to confirm this observation
